¹Pada waktu itu anak laki-laki Yerobeam yang bernama Abia jatuh sakit.

¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

²Berkatalah Yerobeam kepada istrinya, "Bersiap-siaplah untuk pergi ke Silo ke rumah Nabi Ahia yang dahulu mengatakan bahwa saya akan menjadi raja Israel. Tetapi menyamarlah supaya orang tidak tahu siapa engkau.

²Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

³Bawalah untuk dia sepuluh roti, sedikit kue dan madu sebotol. Tanyalah kepadanya apa yang akan terjadi dengan Abia, anak kita. Nabi itu akan memberitahukannya kepadamu."

³Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”

⁴Maka pergilah istri Yerobeam ke rumah Nabi Ahia di Silo. Nabi itu tidak bisa melihat lagi karena ia sudah tua sekali.

⁴Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁵Tetapi TUHAN memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa istri Yerobeam sedang datang untuk menanyakan tentang anaknya yang sakit. Dan TUHAN juga memberitahukan kepada Nabi Ahia apa yang harus dikatakannya nanti. Ketika istri Yerobeam tiba di sana, ia berbuat seolah-olah ia orang lain.

⁵Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

⁶Tetapi begitu Nabi Ahia mendengar bunyi langkahnya di pintu, ia berkata, "Mari masuk, saya tahu engkau istri Yerobeam. Tak usah berpura-pura. Ada berita buruk untukmu.

⁶It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, “Come in, you wife of Jeroboam! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

⁷Pulanglah dan beritahukan kepada Yerobeam bahwa inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN, Allah Israel, 'Engkau telah Kupilih dari antara rakyat dan Kujadikan penguasa atas umat-Ku Israel.

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

⁸Engkau telah Kuberikan kerajaan yang Kurenggut dari keturunan Daud. Tetapi engkau tidak seperti hamba-Ku Daud. Ia setia betul kepada-Ku dan taat kepada perintah-Ku. Ia melakukan hanya yang Kusetujui.

⁸and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

⁹Tetapi engkau melakukan kejahatan yang lebih besar daripada yang dilakukan oleh mereka yang memerintah sebelum engkau. Engkau meninggalkan Aku dan membangkitkan amarah-Ku dengan membuat berhala serta patung-patung dari logam untuk disembah.

⁹but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

¹⁰Karena itu Aku akan mendatangkan celaka ke atas keluargamu. Semua keturunanmu yang laki-laki, apa pun kedudukannya, akan dibunuh. Aku akan melenyapkan keluargamu, sama seperti orang menyapu bersih kotoran.

¹⁰therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, or, male he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.

¹¹Anggota keluargamu yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing, dan yang mati di luar kota akan dimakan burung. Ingat, Akulah TUHAN yang berbicara!'"

¹¹He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for Yahweh has spoken it.”’

¹²Selanjutnya Nabi Ahia berkata kepada istri Yerobeam, "Nah, pulanglah sekarang! Pada saat engkau memasuki kota, anakmu itu akan meninggal.

¹²Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹³Seluruh rakyat Israel akan berkabung dan menguburkannya. Dialah satu-satunya anggota keluarga Yerobeam yang akan dikubur secara terhormat, sebab hanya dia yang berkenan di hati TUHAN, Allah Israel.

¹³All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹⁴Israel akan diberi TUHAN seorang raja yang akan mengakhiri kedudukan keturunan Yerobeam sebagai raja. Harinya sudah tiba! Mulai sekarang

¹⁴Moreover Yahweh will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day! What? Even now.

¹⁵TUHAN akan menghukum Israel sehingga tergoyang-goyang seperti gelagah di dalam air. TUHAN akan mencabut rakyat Israel dari negeri yang baik ini yang diberikan-Nya kepada leluhur mereka. Ia akan menceraiberaikan mereka ke seberang Sungai Efrat, karena mereka telah membangkitkan kemarahan-Nya dengan membuat patung-patung dewi Asyera.

¹⁵For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger.

¹⁶TUHAN akan meninggalkan Israel karena Yerobeam telah berdosa dan menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa juga."

¹⁶He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”

¹⁷Setelah itu berangkatlah istri Yerobeam ke Tirza. Pada saat ia masuk ke rumahnya, anaknya meninggal.

¹⁷Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

¹⁸Rakyat Israel berkabung lalu menguburkannya seperti yang telah dikatakan TUHAN melalui Nabi Ahia, hamba-Nya.

¹⁸All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁹Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yerobeam, yaitu pemerintahannya dan peperangan yang dipimpinnya, sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.

¹⁹The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

²⁰Dua puluh dua tahun lamanya Yerobeam memerintah sebagai raja, kemudian ia meninggal dan dikubur. Anaknya yang bernama Nadab menggantikan dia sebagai raja.

²⁰The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

²¹Ketika Rehabeam, anak Salomo, menjadi raja Yehuda, ia berumur empat puluh satu tahun. Ia memerintah tujuh belas tahun lamanya di Yerusalem. Dari seluruh Israel kota itu telah dikhususkan TUHAN sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Nya. Ibu Rehabeam ialah Naama dari bangsa Amon.

²¹Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

²²Bangsa Yehuda melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN. Perbuatan mereka lebih membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN daripada segala perbuatan leluhur mereka.

²²Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

²³Di atas bukit-bukit dan di bawah pohon-pohon besar, mereka membangun tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala, dan mendirikan tugu-tugu serta patung-patung dewi Asyera untuk disembah.

²³For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

²⁴Di tempat-tempat itu mereka mengadakan pelacuran sebagai penyembahan kepada dewa. Bahkan laki-laki pun bertugas sebagai pelacur. Orang Yehuda melakukan semua perbuatan keji yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang telah diusir TUHAN pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.

²⁵Pada tahun kelima pemerintahan Rehabeam, Sisak, raja Mesir menyerang Yerusalem.

²⁵It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

²⁶Ia merampas semua barang berharga yang terdapat di Rumah TUHAN dan di istana raja, juga perisai-perisai emas yang dibuat oleh Salomo.

²⁶and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

²⁷Maka sebagai gantinya Raja Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai perunggu, dan mempercayakannya kepada para perwira yang mengawal pintu gerbang istana raja.

²⁷King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

²⁸Setiap kali raja ke Rumah TUHAN, para pengawal membawa perisai-perisai itu, kemudian mengembalikannya ke kamar jaga.

²⁸It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

²⁹Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Rehabeam sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

²⁹Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

³⁰Semasa pemerintahan Rehabeam, selalu ada perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam.

³⁰There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

³¹Kemudian Rehabeam meninggal dan dikubur di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud. Abiam, putranya, menggantikan dia sebagai raja.

³¹Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
